We first heard about the Vernee Apollo flagship earlier this year, but news about the phone died down in the past few months. However, Vernee has finally announced that the Vernee Apollo flagship will be unveiled this month and it will go on sale from December.

We already know a lot about the Apollo, but here’s a recap of the specs of the device. The flagship will feature MediaTek’s Helio X25 deca-core chipset clocked at 2.5GHz with Mali-T880 GPU. We are still unsure of the RAM inside, but a 6GB RAM option at launch. There should be 64GB of eMMC storage on board as well.

The Vernee Apollo is being called as the first Mediatek VR flagship, mainly because it will come with a high resolution of 2560x1440px (2K) with 541 ppi pixel density, making it ideal for using in VR headsets. This could also mean that Vernee may release a VR headset of its own soon, but we are not quite sure about it. As for the rear camera, the phone should come with a 20MP Sony IMX230 sensor.

The exact price of the Vernee Apollo is still not known, but the company is known for pricing its devices reasonably, so we can expect the same with its upcoming release. Earlier, it was said that the phone would go on sale for around $399, but we are waiting for official confirmation from the company.

Stay tuned for more updates on the Apollo flagship.

Vernee is marketing its mid-range Thor smartphone pretty aggressively. The company will release the phone sometime in April, which is just a few weeks away. Today, it released a new video comparing the $129.99 Vernee Thor with the iPhone 6S, claiming that its phone delivers a stellar display performance.

In this regard, Vernee released an on-screen comparison of the devices, as well as an off-screen comparison to show the performance of its upcoming handset.

You can check out the video below for the on-screen comparison between the Thor and the iPhone 6S. In the video, the phone does pretty well, coming with higher color saturation and warmer tones. The video tests different colors, dark and light shades, viewing angles and a number of other parameters.

Coming to the off-screen test, Vernee Thor is pitted against the iPhone 6S and the Moto X flagships. The company seems to have performed a thorough off screen analysis of the three phones, showing that the Vernee Thor does a good job in the comparison.

Here’s the official comparison released by the company:

Off-screen Comparison:

Scenario 1:

Crosswise comparison in highlight environment:

With screen reflection totally avoided, we let the 3 devices display the unobservable off-screen integration.

We can see from the close shot that iPhone 6s has the best off-screen integration, Vernee Thor comes second, and the Moto X the last.

Scenario 2:

360°light environment, symmetrical contrast with equal light projecting on each device

In this scenario, Vernee Thor and iPhone 6s have almost the same off-screen integration, and Moto X lags much behind.

Scenario 3:

With light projection on the top of the three 2.5D screens, iPhone 6s and Vernee Thor both win also in terms of viewing effects.
